Alex Ryan Rubio Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 vray has IES capabilities.. I dnt know about final render though. Brazil will have that capability on it next release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego Rosales Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 I believe finalRender supports MAX's photometric lights. AFAIK, the light distribution is not reliable in a physically-correct approach, or in the way LS handles light distribution. It SUPPORTS them, but I'm afraid not in a photometric way. /Diego [ July 14, 2003, 01:57 PM: Message edited by: Diego Rosales ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Jeff Mottle Posted July 14, 2003 Administrators Share Posted July 14, 2003 Brazil is scheduled to come out with IES lights in version 2. You can see some examples of this in their gallery here: http://www.splutterfish.com/sf/gallery_index.php?screen=0&action=images&cat_id=4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neptun Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 IES support in BRazil r/s was added some time ago when version 1.2 was released... just a follow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coreyhrpr Posted January 27, 2004 Author Share Posted January 27, 2004 Funny, I posted this question a while ago. To update, I made the switch over to VRAY. Since I work for an interior design company I use a lot of ies lights for scenes and I found that VRAY can handle pretty much anything I throw at it. Not to mention the quality in the rendering engine. I never tried Brazil or Mental Ray, either way I would assume that the newer versions of 3rd party renderers would have to take on ies capabilities or run the risk of being left in the dirt.

Christopher Nichols Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I have used IES in Vray... it seems to work and looks good... don't know if it is "officially" supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
